Johannesburg (South Africa) – Former middleweight champion Jeremy ‘Pitbull’ Smith has joined the crew at American Top Team (ATT) for training during March.

Smith enters a tough sparring pool of global superstars, including Robbie Lawler, Brad Pickett, Thiago Alves, Mark Hunt, and a host of others.

“I’m going to the States to train because I couldn’t get a fight in March,” said Smith. “The fans can expect a good show with my newly acquired skills when I get back.”

Discussions are currently underway to match Smith at EFC AFRICA 29, May 01.
